the rain gods have arrived

For a country that is making inroads in technology and progressing full steam ahead are lacking on development on road. Transport I mean.

Whatever the result, which actually is quite a mess with the roads & roundabouts being submerged almost completely .. this place hasn't felt more like home as it does now.

Rains in Mangalore.. its a religion by itself. Haven't met a Mangalorean who doesn't fervently say rain!! ... in reverent tones....yet.

The skies for the past 10 days here in the UAE are grey and murky, the rain when it falls alternates between a gentle waltz and a furious headbanging.

This country that is ill equipped to handle the vagaries of weather, being so accustomed to the heat is quite at sea. Literally!

The effects of Global Warming, says every smart aleck and his neighbor.

Whatever!!! make love when the rain pours... ;-)
